An Election That Indicates Strong Disap-
proval of Lord saIisbury's Policy.
LoNDoS, Aug 15.-The election in the North
wich division of Cheshire Saturday to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.. r. Yer
din, Liberal Unionist. resulted in another vic
tory for the Gladstonites. The vote stood: Mr..
J. 7. Brunner Gadstonian, 5.112 Lord Henry
Grosvenor Liberal Unionionist. 1888. Lord
Henry GrosveEor is a son of the Duke of West
minister. In the last election when the Liberal
Unionist candidate was successful, the vote was
follows r. Verdin. Liberal U nionist, 4.416;
j. T. Brunner. Home-ruler. 3958 Mr..
Brunner made an address to-day to the
electors of his district. In the course of his
marks he said: You have n victory for
Mr.. Gladstone and for Ireland The issue be-
tween the classes and masses has been made alb
solutely clear for the first time. The significance
of this message of peace to Ireland it is inpos-
sible to overrate."
The result of the election is a crushing blow
to the Conservatives and dissidents, who
confident that they would retai- the seat. At
their clubs the news received with conster
nation. Home-rule clubs and centers
respondngy elated. A week ago the Conserva-
tive Standard said that the ISSUE would be trial
of strength under peculiarly significant circum-
stances, and pointed out that though Mr. Brun-
ner a large local employer his opponent was
a member of an old Cheshire family that had
been seated il the county for centuries and had
special claims for the support of every Unonist.
The triumph of the Liberals lies mainly in the
fact that this reversal of majorities in their
favor has taken place in the very sbed of
Conservatism and under the eyes of the power
full Duke of Westminster, whose dominion over
the people Of that locality is wel-nigh as su-
preme as that of feudal baron
over his subjects. The Duke made every
effort to secure the of his son. the young
Lord Grosvenor but strong is the undercur-
rent of popular dissatisfaction with the party in
control Of the government that even the power
ful influence of the richest nobleman and most
extensive landlord of the kingdom was unavail-
ing against it. Only those who know the secret po-
tency of such influence properly estimate the
Importance OF the result Both the Gladstonian
and Tory leaders realize it fully, and the former
are correspondingly elated and the latter as
greatly depressed For if, in such a district, a
gain of 20 per cent. be made, it is
considered beyond a doubt that. taking
the whole country through, change of
at least equal magnitude has taken place. This
is moderate estimate, yet is sufficient give
a clean sweep of the country to the Glanstonians
at the next election if nothing to mar
their present standing in popular esteem.

Paris Workmen Encounter q Huge Boa Con-
strictor IN o Sewer.
PARIS. Aug. 15-Some sewer men met with
strange adventure while at work last night in
one OF the labyrinths of subterranean Paris.
AS they were busy engaged in cleaning out the
part which lies under the Boulevard de Ia Vllette,
they suddenly heard loud and prolonged sounds
- ssssing. The foreman of the gang immedi-
ateIy thought that the strange noise was caused
by criminals of some kind or other who had
probably sought refuge in the sewers from the
police. So he took up his shovel and marched
boldly towards the spot whence the sounds is-
sued. After having proceeded a considerable
distance he saw by the dim light of the sewer
lamps enormous boa constructor coiled around
one of the water ducts, with its head protrudng
towards him. Heimmediately stunned the rep
tile with vigorous blow from his shovel, and
his workmen having come up, the whole party
set work until they killed it. 1t had escaped
from q neigh boring circus.

and buy you an umbrella. You can get them
there in every variety and at different prices,

Not the Editor to Fool With.
We dislike to discuss family matters
in our columns, as everybody knows
but the story JEFF Tarleton is telling
around town about our difficulty the
other night is lie such as nobody but,
a dirty coyote would be guilty of. We
have heard of him and his casing at
Dan Geeghen's saloon. The facts are
that we told this red-headed slouch to
stop keeping company with our daugh-
ter. When we returned home that
night about IL o'clock we found him
just leaving our front porch. There
were words, and We will admit that we
called him a greasy tramp. Then he
made a pass for us and we grabbed
him by the whiskers, and when he
broke away we kicked him in the small
OF the back, and the only regret now
is that we did not break his backbone.
The lie that he tells is that we drew a.
gun, which he snatched and then ran
us in the house. Nobody saw the
fracas, and of course he can lie, but

The Pay of the English Soldier

-AA~ - ~J Va oAAS AA"&9AA0AA yAoOAU4Cls
The nominal pay OF common sol.
dier is Is. a day, varying up to Gid.
q day for men in the household caval.
ry. But when the prescribed stop.
pages have been made toward the
cost of his keep" very little indeed Is
left to MIN in the way of pocket mon.
ey. He may not fare badly, as com.
pared with men of his own rank in
life who are not soldiers, while he is in
his teens or for q few years after.
Soon, however, he wants more, and
is worth more-if he is worth anything
and the bribe OF I'd. day, rising
to 3D., for re-engagement, is not enough
for his requirements or his deserts.
He may, OF course, advance to be
Corporal, a Sergeant, or even a ser.
geant-Major, receiving as much as 5s.,
or in the Royal Engineers 6s., a day;
nay, it Is now possible for him to be
promoted altogether out of the ranks
and to become "an officer and gen.
tleman." But these latter promo
tions are very rare, and though
there are doubtless quite as many
non'commissionedo officers as there is
room or need for in a. regiment,
enough scope is not thus afforded for
the reward OF good conduct andllonq.
service which the great mass OF our
soldiers have right to expect. Sure
;ly it would be to the general advan.
tage, and not really expensive, ifsuch
progressive scale of pay were adopted
as would enable g. private, if through
no fault of his own he continued to be
a private all through his career, to
have when he was 40 or SO years old
much larger remuneration than the
balance left to him, after stoppages,
from q. nominal wage of l5d a day.
The addition OF a penny a day to
every soldiers pay would amount to
nearly 1900, 600 a year, but as we sur
render with every soldier we discharge
after seven years service the value oi
something like 81, 900, there would
be no expense whatever Il we kept
that one thousand pounds worth ol

money to recompense our trained

The Attitude Of Rome Towards the Knights Of

Bishop Ireland OF st. Paul, in an inter-
view with "a New York Tribune Reporter

Knights OF Labor are not to be condemned
and all censures against them, such as
those formerly existing in Canada, have
been withdrawn. But this is negative
No positive approval was asked for or will
be given, and, OF course, shonld the knights
in future do anything as a society contrary
OF the church, they will be liable to con-
demnation. So far there has been no cause
for condemnation. Furthermore, the
church implicitly recognizes the right of the
laboring classes to organize for the legit-
innate protection OF their rights"
